Public Education In The Phillipines

[Hey!!!]

 

If the government itself can’t do anything to help its own system, how much more the other? Yeah sure we can blame anyone and anything endlessly but let’s just be aware that we are part of the system thus far.

 

This may sound too cliché but why don’t we look around and look at ourselves, then, and only then we can realize that the problem is also within us. So it boils down now to self-reliant, that is, if this ‘self’ (being hyphenated with 'reliant' or as compound words) rings a bell to many.

 

Just to share some thoughts about the topic... I agree. It may seem that it only stems from the values and commitment of the ones who are running the education system. from the local schools to the national agencies, but in reality, the other side is what we learn at home, Value System... it Includes us.

 

Recently may nagpakamatay na college student in Bicol, people are blaming the government for it. Agree na may mas mabigat responsbilities ang government (this includes the school). PERO! may responsibilities din ang parents and peers nung bata. As said earlier the government cannot do things alone. based from experience, It starts with the employees who do not seem to know why they are in the government... yung iba dapat mag retire na dahil ayaw na gawin ang trabaho nila (may senior at seniority complex na), yung iba naman gusto lang sweldo hindi trabaho (apparently magkaiba pla yung sweldo at trabaho- which should be cleared sa hiring process), yung iba na with the high ideals and values and at the start wants and initiates "positive/progressive/change" kaso naging inutil dahil "nakain" or gets burnt out by the system. we have a long way to go in terms of Human resource, but the policies are there, the systems can be developed and enhanced to suit us socio-culturally... sabi nga... "ang mas matinding kalaban ay ang sarili".

Fix population problem first. Even if we build more classrooms, it's never enough to catch up. There's just too many kids year after year.

Public education in the Philippines, well I can say it is improving right now. Ang resources kasi ng puwedeng ituro ng teachers, ngayon mas malawak na kasi may interent na where the can get topics and information para sa kanilang mga lessons.

hindi naman masama ang mag aral sa public school. may maaayos na teacher at meron din namang hindi efficient. nasa estudyante na lang kung willing talaga siyang matuto o ano. maganda siyang training ground. kung may ayaw man ako tungkol sa mga public school? iyon ay yung mga insidente ng sakitan na umaabot pa talaga sa ilang patayan. nakakatakot ang mga siga na nasa level ng mga kriminal.

Public education in the Philippines follows the K-12 system, which includes kindergarten, six years of elementary education, four years of junior high school, and two years of senior high school. This structure aligns with international standards and aims to better prepare students for higher education, employment, and entrepreneurship. Despite improvements in access, especially through initiatives like the Alternative Learning System (ALS) for out-of-school youths and adults, disparities persist, particularly in rural and underserved areas. The quality of education varies, with urban schools often having better resources than rural ones. Challenges such as overcrowded classrooms, lack of textbooks, and inadequate infrastructure remain significant.

 

Funding for public education is primarily provided by the government, but resources are often insufficient to meet all needs. Despite increases in the education budget, schools frequently face shortages in materials and infrastructure. The curriculum is designed to be holistic, incorporating academic subjects, technical-vocational education, and values education. Recent reforms, such as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 and efforts to integrate technology into education, aim to improve the system. However, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant gaps, particularly in digital access and remote learning capabilities, further highlighting the need for continued investment and reform.

Is real bad. Unless you went to a Science High School, you're likely to be taught by people who absolutely have no business being educators.

matino naman turo sa public schools fr. elem, hs, and college (esp. state universities)

pero marami talagang success stories na sa private pinagaaral ng elem, sa national high school kapag sa secondary, then state university pag college. 

nagiging maganda ang fundamentals ng bata sa private school dahil kadalasan mas maliit talaga ang teacher to student ratio. unlike sa public elem. though sa ngayon, hindi ata masyadong ramdam since marami pa din atang private school ang naka-online mode. not sure. yun lng
